unhosted web apps

freedom from web 2.0's monopoly platforms

definition

Also known as "serverless", "client-side",
or "static" web apps, unhosted web apps do not send
your user data to their server.
Either you connect your own server at runtime,
or your data stays within the browser.

advantages compared to native (iOS, Android) apps

web apps work on any device, no matter which platform or provider

you can get apps from any website, not just through a censored app store

advantages compared to hosted web apps

choose your server provider independently of which apps you use

likewise, your choice of apps is not narrowed down by your storage provider
